Each A Star


from the ABC set Smooth Sailing I

Dear Reader: This poem-story, sadly, is based on a true and recent incident near where we live.

Big ocean waves roared
Onto the shore
Bathers were laughing,
Splashing galore
Three children wandered
Out way too far
That´s when the Master
Made each a star.

Pain hit the parents
Tearing their hearts
Pain that the Master
Knows from the cross
The only healing
Must bow to time
The only closure
Must be divine.
